IT was nearly a clean sweep for Liverpool in the men’s categories at the FIFA’s “The Best” Awards in Milan last night. For the main award, Virgil van Dijk was denied by Lionel Messi – which must have been an odd feeling for both as it was the other way round at...
LIVERPOOL knew they needed a new goalkeeper for a long time. Long before Simon Mignolet had been dropped to the bench, not for the first but certainly last time in his Liverpool career. Long before Karius threw the ball at Karim Benzema’s feet, or let a...
I FEEL sorry for defensive football players. They rarely get the credit they deserve. For example, the last defender to win the PFA Player of the Year was John Terry in 2005, a season which Chelsea conceded just 15 goals all season. And Everton finished fourth with a...
THERE was a moment during Saturday’s game at Leicester when Alisson comfortably saved an awkward-looking effort from Demarai Gray that had squirmed through Joe Gomez’s legs. Gomez, who was excellent throughout and has rightly been showered with praise for his...
LIVERPOOL aren’t messing around in the summer transfer window, announcing their fourth new signing after paying a world-record fee for a goalkeeper for AS Roma’s Alisson Becker. Jürgen Klopp is building a serious team that could challenge for the Premier...
Tons to get through on the Gutter today and news breaks during it about Liverpool’s accepted offer to AS Roma for Alisson Becker to become the most expensive goalkeeper in history. The most expensive goalkeeper in history. To go with the most expensive centre...
The second episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded ‘Down The Local’ in Liverpool, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and Adam Melia to discuss pub table etiquette, men’s shoes, Kate Bush, and more…
The Pub Crawlers Podcast represents a quest to find the very best authentic UK pubs, filmed on location inside some of the finest boozers across the UK and Ireland.
Well, sort of. It’s equally about friends having three to four pint-fuelled, quintessential pub conversations, on any subjects that damn well occur to them, in a range of outstanding boozers across the land. So, really, it’s as much about what we get up to in pubs as the pubs themselves.
The shows are presented by self-styled boozer connoisseur and long-time pub designer and owner, Rob Gutmann, who is on a mission to find the very best pubs in the UK and to define the essence of the ‘true’ pub.
Featuring a wide range of guests (mainly Rob’s mates), we’ll be visiting pubs the length and breadth of the country, bedding into the very best of them, and chatting about our lives lived in and around boozers.
The first season of the Pub Crawlers focuses on the North of England, taking in Chester, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, and even a brief foray to the north side of the Midlands in Nottingham.
Plug yourself in to the ongoing conversation as it disappears down all manner of tenuously pub-related worm holes, with your new mates at TPC. And you don’t need a pint to enjoy us, but it might help…
